If you happen to be in Milan, Italy this weekend, come to our show!  The Either/Orchestra is playing at Teatro Manzoni, for the Apertivo in Concerto festival.  This gig stars the great Ethiopian musicians, Mahmoud Ahmed and Mulatu Astatke.  More and more about the music can be found right here in my website.  Info on the concert is here.  Here’s a nice video of us with Mahmoud Ahmed (from this DVD):

It’s Sunday afternoon here in lovely (and I really mean it) Boston.  It doesn’t really feel like Sunday afternoon, though, but that’s because of the crazy schedule I managed to keep in the past week.  Briefly, it involves a drive to NYC on Tuesday for a 5 hour rehearsal, a gig at Lincoln Center on Wednesday followed by a return drive to Boston that night (arriving home at 5pm Thursday).  Thursday afternoon, I caught a flight to Dublin that arrived on Friday morning at 5:30am.  Spent the rest of the day in Dun Laoghaire and played a concert that night.  Caught a flight back to Boston Saturday morning, arriving mid-afternoon yesterday.  So, I’m not sure what it feels like right now, but Sunday afternoon is not really where I’m at.
